Currently I don’t believe there’s a way to make a post sticky within a topic. I think when this question has cropped up before one suggestion was to make the second post in the topic a placeholder for such a summary. This would require some forethought though to make sure a suitable one was created at the time.

It would be possible to manually move all the posts in an existing topic into a temporary topic, create a new placeholder post, and then move the posts back again but I think it might be a faff.

There are some new AI summary tools that appear at the top of topics which may prove useful?

I’ve managed to find a very old #Contribute > Feature request for it, but it didn’t gain much traction:

> the 1st post of each topic i’ve posted a workflow and users guide to the topic. after 300+ comments no-one is ever going to browse to the top and read it. is it possible to sticky the top post so it is always visible?

I think I have seen another one somewhere. 🤔
